I. PURPOSE OF RFP & BACKGROUND
A. Purpose
The City of Fort Collins (City) is initiating this Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit
proposals from Vendors with a commercial off-the-shelf product who are interested in
participating in a project to provide vehicle and bicycle detection for the City’s traffic
signals. Following initial review of the submitted proposals, the City expects to select
products for testing and verification of product functionality. Vendors selected for further
testing and review will be required to provide all hardware, software and personnel
necessary to install a Detection System for assessment in the test environment provided
by the City. The successful Vendor will be awarded a contract to provide equipment and
ongoing support. The contract may be renewed in one-year increments for up to a total
of five years. The City may award more than one contract to provide the equipment and
services described in this RFP.
B. Background
The City of Fort Collins maintains 184 traffic signals, 36 pedestrian signals and 4
emergency vehicle signals. Approximately 85% of the traffic signals are equipped with
video detection for at least one approach. Nearly 25% of the traffic signal utilize
inductive loops for at least one approach. Fixed time operation with no detection is
employed at less than 5% of intersections while almost half operate in semi-actuated
mode (no detection on the main street).
The predominant video detection system in use throughout the City is the Econolite
Autoscope Video Detection System. Video feeds from the Econolite system are
available in the Traffic Management Center (TMC) for display via the Centracs Central
System software. Traficon video detection is deployed at twelve locations and Flir
thermal detection is deployed at two intersections. Information supplied by the various
detection systems in use include vehicle detection, bicycle differentiation, vehicle
classification, volume, occupancy, speed, advanced detection, and queue detection.
The traffic signal communication system is Ethernet based and relies on a combination
of fiber optic cabling and wireless access points/radios. Traffic signal cabinets used by
the City of Fort Collins are a Type 170. The Econolite ASC3-RM is the primary controller
installed across the system. Ten locations have the Econolite Cobalt running an
adaptive control module. The intersections running adaptive control are using
Econolite’s Video Detection System for system detectors.
The City is federalizing this RFP so it can be used for federally funded projects. The
Federal Terms and Conditions are included with this RFP and will be incorporated into
the awarded Agreement.
II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL

complete and submit this Functional Requirements Matrix as part of the submittal.
Submittals that do not include the Functional Requirements Matrix may be considered
non-responsive. The City of Fort Collins recognizes that no signal Detection System is
likely to meet all requirements listed in the Functional Requirements Matrix.
a. Functional Categories
The Functional Categories identify the relative importance of the function to the
City. A list of the functional requirements is found in Attachment A. The three
categories are as follows:
M (Mandatory) – Requirements are features or functionalities that must be
provided by the Vendor to fulfill the core mission. If the feature or functionality is
not within the standard product, the Vendor must clearly identify this fact or
indicate that it can be provided through customization. Any cost required to
implement the feature through customization must be included and clearly
identified as an optional cost in the submittal.
I (Important) – Requirements are features or functionalities that are
advantageous to the City and enhance the functionality of the Detection System
but are not necessarily required as part of the initial implementation covered by
this RFP process.
D (Desired) – Requirements are features or functionalities that would be
worthwhile to have in the initial implementation by may not be available from the
Vendor.
b. Functional Compliance
The Functional Compliance classification indicates the compliance level of the
detection system. The three categories are as follows:
C (Compliant) – All functions identified as “Compliant” are assumed to be readily
available at the time of submittal. Each Vendor should be prepared to
8809 Intersection Detection System Page 7 of 42
demonstrate this feature if selected for further system demonstration and
evaluation.
P (Partially Compliant) – All functions identified as “Partially Compliant” shall
require further explanation from the Vendor in the “Comments” section. If the
Vendor fails to provide an explanation for the status, the City may consider the
requirement to be “Non-Compliant”.
N (Non-Compliant) – Functions identified as “Non-Compliant” are assumed to
indicate that the Vendor cannot or will not be able to meet this requirement
without customization or development of the product.
c. Comments
Comments provided by the Vendor are to be used to qualify the answers
provided to functional categories and compliance to the system requirements.
The comments should enhance the City’s understanding of how the Vendor
meets the requirements. Example comments are as follows:
Planned Availability – Unless otherwise specified in the “Comments” section,
the City will assume that the requirement is currently available from the Vendor.
Not Included – Unless otherwise specified in the “Comments” section, the City
will assume that the requirement is included in the Detection System. Each
Vendor shall also indicate in the “Comments” section if the requested feature
requires optional components or modules in order to be implemented and if the
component/module is readily available or requires additional development. Costs
associated with additional components, modules or development must be
included and clearly identified as an optional cost in the submittal.
Limited or Additional Functionality – The Vendor shall identify any limitations
in how its product fulfills this requirement or describe any functionality in its
product that exceeds this requirement.
Simultaneous Compliance of Functions – Unless otherwise specified in the
“Comments” section, the City will assume all compliant functions can be
simultaneously compliant with other compliant functions. For example, a
comment to the exception may read, “A single camera cannot provide bicycle
detection and advanced detection simultaneously.”
Pertinent Comments – The Vendor may include any comments considered
relevant to the product evaluation.

the Government's best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs, including contract
close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination. The
Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to (Recipient) to be paid the
Contractor. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to the
(Recipient), the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner the
(Recipient) directs.
b. Termination for Default [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) If the Contractor
does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery schedule, or, if the
contract is for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the
contract, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the
(Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. Termination shall be effected by

performance set forth in the contract.

for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are
beyond the control of the Contractor, the (Recipient), after setting up a new delivery of
performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the
termination as a termination for convenience.

short period of time] in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination

its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that (Recipient) elects to waive its
remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this
Contract, such waiver by (Recipient) shall not limit (Recipient)'s remedies for any
succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract.
